I mentioned the profession aspect as a way to question how adept someone of little career background would be at ruling a very large nation like India. I apologized if it seemed off putting I should have phrased it better. And it is true that India has remained politically stable for a long time now and I do commend that.

However, as for the Islamic part, put constitution directly makes reference to secularism as part of the nation's core values. However, there is still work to be done as I've said, and a former dictator unfortunately made Islam the state religion which counters the rest of the pre amended constitution which you used as an example so yes it puts us in an odd situation. The original constitution had no such references and only spoke on Secularism, which is still one of the principal values. And legally, and in matters of jurisprudence, Bangladesh is a completely secular country except for very few instances where religion of the individual and not of the state takes priority such as marriage and inheritance.

I do agree that BNP could have won, but their influence isn't as strong as it once was. Most Bangladeshis these days are anti BAL not pro BNP. And hopefully we won't get to a situation where Islamists have power. At least not in the near future. Your country on the other hand has a Hindu nationalist power that constantly belittles our country and Islam so of course it will cause hatred. I hope we can work past these problems as countries because truth is, whilst we are here doing online debates, our countries are looked down upon by every other country north of the Sahara and that should be a bigger problem to work against.

I am not white washing Muslim dynasties. Yes some of them did bad things. But so did some Hindus. Let's not go into whataboutism this is about painting an equal picture.

Secondly, no we are not an Islamic country. My own grandfather fought in the Bangladesh war against Pakistan and Islamists, and members of his family also died. You have zero authority to call my country an Islamic country after the hardship we went through to get rid of Islamism.

And unlike BJP India, our country is arresting and executing religious fanatics, not turning them from tea seller and priest to Prime Minister. Yes there is work to be done, but for every one step Bangladesh might stumble backwards, your country stumbles a 100 times more.

Just because someone is born Muslim doesn't make them a terrorist and just because a country is Muslim majority doesn't make it Islamic. Plus it's not deterring the high amount of South Asians both Indians and Bangladeshis from going into slavery in the Gulf. Instead of working on issues like that people like you are here destroying bridges between peoples.

It's not my job to teach you how to read posts. And just because we buy foods from you doesn't mean we are parasites. Don't forget a lot of your eastern tourist industry is dependent on Bangladeshis, same goes for Healthcare.

Edit: Going through your profile is enough to show that you are a human lacking self decency and any interaction with you is futile. Get a life, get good education, and start meditating to get rid of your dumbfounded ego. Imagine trying to look down on a country that is peacefully trying to develop itself simply out of spite, despite the fact that that country within its small capacity is slowly outperforming yours across various sectors, at its own scale and size. Better HDI says it all and you can go do in depth analysis if you even care to. And yet people like you will forever keep calling Bangladesh Kangladesh. It doesn't matter, the truth speaks for itself. I've met Indians like you irl. Thankfully they are far outnumbered by well mannered and intelligent ones, and hopefully will remain that way in the future.

Meanwhile bro forgot the whole list of benefits OP mentioned that BD gives IN practically for free. Keep on with the self centred attitude, it's certainly not making your country any friends.

Then explain why your 'compatible' religion ended up genociding your own faith sharing Bengalis during the Maratha invasions of Bengal, or why the sub continent was ruled by the Mughals and other Muslim dynasties for centuries with stability and prosperity, or why your country is now known as one of the most religiously intolerant nations. Hindutvas with their useless and illogical rhetoric.
